Galaxy groupings

NGC 5982 / NGC 5985 / NGC 5981- 1/0.5/TBA - Triple grouping although third galaxy is tough to pick out

Best placed early Spring to mid Autumn.

Draco has galactic co-ordinates of approximately 90, 30.

So when you look at this constellation you are looking above the galactic plane above the Orion arm of our spiral galaxy.
